Epson Has Good Data Projector Reviews

Epson is one of the better rated multimedia projector manufacturers according to average reviews from experts and users, and Epson also has good ratings for its 10000:1 contrast ratio projectors.

9 Reasons Against

Does Not Support 3D Image Projection

Most multimedia projectors of this age and spec do not support 3D image projection. The Epson 1263W is no exception to this as it too does not support 3D image projection.

There are a number of alternative projectors which also support 3D image projection that you might also want to consider including the Acer X1111[plb_1377014_price], the Vivitek H1180HD[plb_2341133_price], or the Panasonic PT-DZ21[plb_1986217_price] which is also higher rated.

The Epson 1263W does not support Full HD projection. Most of the other 10000:1 contrast ratio projectors that have been on the market for around the same time as the 1263W also do not support Full HD projection.

We compared this multimedia projector to all the other projectors with a Full HD projection and we think the Acer X1311[plb_1374828_price], the Panasonic PT-DZ13[plb_2000154_price], or the Epson 1975W[plb_3009713_price] is also worth considering.

Does Not Support WiFi Connectivity

The Epson 1263W does not support WiFi connectivity. Most of the other projectors that have been available for more than two years also do not support WiFi connectivity.

We compared this data projector to all the other projectors with a WiFi connectivity and we think the PowerLite 1222[pl_2225031_price], or the EB-X03[pl_2263795_price] both from Epson or the Benq W1500[plb_1561671_price] is also worth considering.
